Rescue services, in the order most contractors need them

Marketing rescue audit

Start with the audit if you can't answer, in one sentence, what each line on your marketing invoice pays for. It's a written inventory of every account, who holds the owner role, what each costs and whether it produces calls.

The quick test: list every login you'd need to change your phone number everywhere it appears online. If the list has gaps, you need the marketing rescue audit. It usually takes one to two weeks and ends with a recovery plan in priority order.

Google Business Profile recovery

Choose this if your Google listing is owned by someone else, suspended, duplicated, or showing an old phone number you can't change. For most trades the profile drives more calls than the website, so it's often the most urgent piece.

The quick test: open your profile's people-and-access settings. If your business email isn't listed as the primary owner, read the Google Business Profile recovery page. We work only through Google's official ownership and access requests.

Account and domain recovery

This covers everything else: your domain, hosting, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Search Console, social pages and call-tracking numbers. It's the slow, careful part of a rescue, and it's where mistakes cost the most.

The quick test: look up who the registrant of your domain is with your registrar. If it isn't your business, start with account and domain recovery. The domain controls your website and often your email, so it comes first.

Website repair and rebuild

Pick this when the site is slow, broken on phones, missing service pages, or built on a platform you can't export. Sometimes a repair is enough; sometimes the honest answer is that a rebuild costs less than patching.

The quick test: on your own phone, try to call your business from your homepage in under five seconds. If you can't, see website repair and rebuild. We tell you which route is cheaper before any work starts.

Clean-restart marketing

Once you own everything, the marketing has to start producing again. A clean restart relaunches local SEO, paid search and reviews with tracking you can check yourself, so you're never again dependent on one person's dashboard.

The quick test: if you recovered everything tomorrow, would you know what to do with it? If not, the clean restart is the next step. It runs on our month-to-month plans, explained on the pricing page.

What every service has in common

Whichever services you use, three things stay the same. Accounts are created or recovered under your business's own email. We never ask for your passwords; you add us as a user and can remove us any time. And every recommendation comes in writing, with the reason behind it, so you can check our thinking before you spend anything.

How we decide what you actually need

We recommend the least work that fixes the problem. Here's the logic we use:

If you're unsure, the agency exit checklist walks you through a self-assessment, and the FAQ answers the common worries. Or call, text or email, and we'll tell you which row you're in.
